A digital signal is a digital signal, it's not going to look any better or worse with different cables. A good cable WILL allow you to make longer cable runs without suffering from bandwidth problems though.

This really isn't true.

EDIT: Here is the cable comparison I referred to.

Nice Read! :thumbsup:

I ordered a handful of things from Monoprice a few hours ago, and everything has already shipped. They kick Newegg's ass in terms of turnaround time! Gotta love em!

Really? I love monoprice for the fact that they have high quality cables at a low price, but they take fooorrrrreeeeevvvvvvvveeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr to ship!

Last order I placed was for some speaker wire and banana plugs, both in stock, and it took 6 business days for them to ship it out, and since they are on the opposite coast it took another 6 days in transit. I don't mind waiting to save money, but it's kind of ridiculous.

They even have things like LCD wall mounts, wall plates, cell phone/ipod chargers, etc.. all for really cheap.

My one gripe is their layout could be better.

Newegg wins in that area as far as narrowing into exactly what you're looking for while filtering out everything else.

Really nice quality for lower prices. I got an HDMI cable for like $20 which would have cost me $60 elsewhere for the same guage, shielding, length.

I didn't think they had $20 HDMI cables. I don't think I've spent over $8.

They do if you buy a 75 footer like I did.

it's 24guage and shielded. Also 20 ft. From what I know, when you go over 12' with HDMI, signal start to drop off really fast. You want a thicker guage wire.

I tested this cable against a 6' $90 monster cable my friend bought for his PS3. We both didn't see a quality difference between my 20' $20 cable or his $90 6' cable on my 42" 1080p screen.

If you think $20 is expensive, Monster makes some absurdly priced cables. I can't say they are worth it or not, I'm sure some discriminating person would see it over me but I haven't seen anything worth spending that kind of money for.

It takes a special kind of talent to get ripped off by Monoprice. $20 HDMI cable!
